Easy glider Hugh Laurie shows off his new wheels as he makes his way home from the gym.

He is worth £30million, so he could afford a real Roller – or two – but a scooter suits Hugh as he takes off towards his home in Belsize Park, North London.

The 59-year-old TV star was enjoying the heat as he headed home in rather casual attire of a t-shirt and shorts, with sensible trainers and socks to help him along on his scooter.

One of Hugh' more recent TV outings was his supporting role in the widely acclaimed US hit The Night Manager, which saw the British actor win the Golden Globe for his efforts alongside Brits Olivia Colman and Tom Hiddleston.

He played a baddy, which is a real difference from some of his other roles such as the various incarnations of 'George' in Blackadder, where he was thoroughly dim-witted and upper-class.

Many will also recognise the star as misanthropic medical genius House, in the US hospital drama which sees him deciphering the most extraordinary medical emergencies with a flawless American accent.

But here, it looks like a blast from the past as the sun was fryin’ Laurie.
